shipmate, ALOT of things will happen during Boot Camp. Just stay focused, aight? About the contract? During bootcamp, they are going to show you a presentation for folks that wants to be their job to be exciting...its the SWCC/SEAL/EOD program. Talk to the SEAL that's in charge of that presentation and maybe he can help you. The reason why I said this is because your story is the same as my friends in bootcamp--this peole can bench press 300 lbs, runs like an energizer bunny (they just keep on going!), and doesn't whine or complain or something. Problem is, complications in paperwork sometimes messes up your application for BUD/s. As I said, talk to the SEAL thats incharge in bootcamp and he will help you out.
btw, I'm not a SEAL. Heck, I'm not even a U.S. citizen ^_^
But, "like duh", I'm a sailor for the USN. Works with Amphibs and SEALs. Hey, good enough for me till I get my citizenship...
YOU WILL MAKE IT TO BUD/S IF YOU PASS THE PHYSICAL TEST AND BOOT CAMP AND A SCHOOL. I AM PRETTY SURE THAT IS CORRECT - BUT SINCE THIS IS A RECRUITING QUESTION IT WOULD BE WISE TO CHECK WITH A RECRUITER - AND BY THE WAY - I WOULD HAVE FOUND THAT OUT BEFORE I SIGNED THE DOTTED LINE!!
